I think it unlikely that this splitter will work. First, it's made for audio frequencies, not the high speed of digital. It's also going to introduce an impedance imbalance because your streamer will be seeing the loads of both DACs.

I think your solution is to get a switch that will allow you to select one DAC at a time.
